[platform-ui-dev] org.eclipse.ui.part.MultiPageEditorPart and clipboard 
actions
I'm developing a multi-page editor for a plugin.  It is similar to the PDE 
plugin.xml editor?. It is a couple of pages of SWT forms and the last page 
is a text editor.  The keyboard shortcuts for cut/copy/paste are always 
tied to the text-editor no matter what page is active.  I thought I would 
look at the PDE plugin.xml editor source code to see how they handled it, 
but then I found that this editor exhibits the same problem.  This is on 
an M4 build.  Can anyone tell me what I need to do to route these keyboard 
shortcut actions appropriately.  Thanks-

Michael, questions about the use of Eclipse and its APIs should be 
directed to the eclipse.tools newsgroup in the future, where there is a 
larger audience who can help you.
The *-dev mailing lists are for discussions on the development of Eclipse 
itself. 

The multipage editor example (org.eclipse.ui.examples.multipageeditor) 
illustrates how to do this properly. 
See the code here and here.

To run the MPE example:
- download the examples from the regular download page
- extract the org.eclipse.ui.examples.multipageeditor plugin into your 
plugins directory
- run eclipse
- create a Test.mpe file

The EditorActionBarContributor for the multi-page editor (which must be 
specified in the XML for the editor) must handle all coordination of 
actions when switching pages.  Basically you need to subclass 
MultiPageEditorActionBarContributor, specify this subclass as the action 
bar contributor in the XML, and in the setActivePage(IEditorPart) method, 
ensure that you hook/unhook the global actions appropriately.

HTH,
Nick
